Not only Masahiro Nakai, but also the producer, is being “tailed off”… Fuji TV is being pressured by the falling stock price to “pursue the Diet” plan.

I think it should be pursued in the Diet.

Former “SMAP” star Masahiro Nakai’s “90 million yen trouble with a woman” has prompted former House of Representatives member and NHK party deputy leader Hotaka Maruyama to issue a complaint against Fuji Television.

Mr. A, an executive at Fuji Television’s programming bureau who is close to Ms. Nakai, invited Ms. Xko, a former Fuji Television employee, to a drinking party with several other people, but cancelled the party on the day of the invitation. Mr. Nakai and Ms. X were left alone together, and sexual assault is alleged to have occurred.

Other female employees were also allegedly victimized, raising suspicions that Fuji Television executives were “paying up” to Mr. Nakai, who is a powerful man. In response, Fuji TV officially denied on its official website that it was not involved in any way.

On January 7, Maruyama posted an article on his YouTube channel, “New information on Masahiro Nakai’s trouble! Based on the contents of the Weekly Bunshun that was released on January 8, Maruyama posted a video titled “New Information on Masahiro Nakai’s Trouble!

The video is based on the contents of the Bunshun article, which was released on August 8.

Furthermore, in response to an article that said Xko had also discussed the damage caused by Nakai with her supervisor

Fuji Television is covering it up. You should be accountable for your actions.

She stated her view that “Fuji TV is covering it up.

Some opposition parties to appeal at the regular Diet session in January.

According to Fuji Television’s official website, the company was listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1997.’ It says that in April 2010, Fuji Media Holdings, a certified broadcast holding company, will move to the prime market of the TSE.

As a publicly listed company, shareholders have a strong voice. Future shareholder meetings are likely to be contentious. The company’s stock price was 1,848 yen (closing price) on December 20 when the Nakai article appeared, but it fell when Fuji TV employees’ involvement began to be suspected. It has dropped to 1,595 yen (January 9), although it is probably not all due to this fiasco. If no one takes responsibility and the company continues to keep a low profile, the shareholders who have incurred losses will not remain silent.

A look at Fuji’s top shareholders shows not only major corporations such as Toho, Bunka Hoso, and NTT DoCoMo, but also investment trust banks. As might be expected, if they see Nakai’s fuss as a factor in the stock price decline, they will be forced to take harsh measures.

“Furthermore, since the regular Diet session begins this month, the opposition parties may make an appeal by pursuing the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, who has jurisdiction over broadcasting licenses, in order to further drive the minority ruling party into a corner. The opposition may try to “cut off the lizard’s tail” by placing the blame on Mr. A alone before the entire Fuji Television network sinks. However, it is also true that Mr. A has contributed greatly to Fuji Television’s variety of programs. It remains to be seen how he will steer the company in the future.

The dilemma is that if he continues to completely deny the allegations and keep a low profile despite the fact that the victims are speaking out, the Internet will continue to be inflamed in a contradictory manner. Furthermore, there is a possibility of an “avalanche” of other female employees leaking the story to the weekly magazines as a “#MeToo.

Nakai’s TV and radio regulars, as well as commercials, have been almost completely destroyed. I wonder if not only Nakai but also Fuji TV is planning to keep their mouths shut. ……
